The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

2 riddles?

if so i think that:

Riddle 1: Lava/magma    / the sun

Riddle 2: Imagination
The universe has a beginning, but no end. —Infinite.
The stars too have beginnings, but their power accompanies their decline.  —Finite.
It the wise who are the most foolish. History has taught us as much.
The fish of the sea know not the world of the land. Were they to possess wisdom, they too would experience decline.
It is more absurd that humans should surpass the speed of light than it is that fish should start living on the land.

Nope, sorry! Good try!

I was looking for:
"A Lightbulb."

A quick explanation:


I started hot and became cooler -
Incandescent bulbs were replaced by cooler-glowing florescents and later LED bulbs, which are only barely warm to the touch.


but was hot before "cool"... -
The incandescent bulb was invented in the mid 1800s. The word "Cool" started popping up in culture in the jazz era, in the early/mid 1900s: the hot incandescent bulb came before the use of the word "cool".


yet you can find me hot to this day.
You can still go to a store and buy an incandescent light bulb. I've got a box of em a few feet away, as a matter of fact. :p


I am one result of an idea
As often depicted in cartoons, the lightbulb over the head is one result of a character getting an idea.

and depending on needing,
You may seek me out or curse my very being.

If you're in a dark place and need light, a lightbulb is amazing thing to have.
If, on the other hand, you're trying to sleep or having a glaring light shining on you, you may hate the very existence of that bulb.


Anyway, I'll let someone else give it a shot!

Whoever wants to, post up a riddle!

I'll do one.

When you don't know what I am, I am something.  When you know what I am, I am nothing.  What am I?
